Fire Safety Training (On-Site, Practical & Site-Specific) - From £395.00 per course

Fletcher Risk Management provides on-site fire safety training for staff and duty holders across Chester and the surrounding region. Our courses are designed to be practical, engaging and directly relevant to your workplace, helping staff to understand what to do, how to react, and how to use fire extinguishers safely and correctly.

Many businesses choose online training because it’s convenient. However, during fire risk assessments we often find that staff confidence, knowledge and real-world decision-making can be limited when training has been purely online. Our on-site training helps bridge that gap by giving staff hands-on learning and clear instruction based on the risks in your specific premises.

Where we have already completed the fire risk assessment for your building, we are often in the best position to deliver training that reflects your actual fire hazards, escape routes, procedures and fire safety arrangements — ensuring training is realistic, relevant and effective.

Fire Safety Awareness Training (2 Hours)

A practical, introductory course ideal for all staff in all workplaces, covering essential fire safety knowledge and safe actions in the event of a fire.

This course covers:

  • Fire basics: how fires start and spread.

  • Common workplace ignition sources and fuel risks.

  • How to raise the alarm and respond safely.

  • Evacuation procedures and escape routes.

  • Fire doors and compartmentation awareness.

  • Safe use of portable fire extinguishers (including limitations).

Fire Marshal / Fire Warden Training (3 Hours)

Recommended for supervisors, managers, reception staff, caretakers, or anyone with additional evacuation responsibilities.

Practical Extinguisher Training (Included)
